Derek Chisora spat water in Klitschko’s face when he faced brother Vitali

The Ukrainian said: “It’s great for boxing that this event is going to be promoted the way it is, without any abuse — verbal, physical or any other shape of it. A lack of abuse is something I haven’t experienced often.

“Not all of my previous opponents were bad but the majority were in certain ways provocative.”

Klitschko must be sick of the sight of British fighters over the last six years.

First Haye goaded him endlessly ahead of their 2011 clash, while Fury did his best to unsettle him when they met in 2015.
